"Unopened 1979 Hockey Cards Case Sells for Record $5M"

An unopened case of 1979-80 ice hockey cards found in a Canadian basement has fetched $3.7m at auction, potentially containing over 20 rookie cards of Wayne Gretzky. The discovery, described as "the greatest unopened find of the 21st Century" by Heritage Auctions, has sparked excitement among collectors due to the potential value of the cards. The family who found the case, originally intended to be sold to stores, were "ecstatic" at the sale and chose to remain anonymous.
